Rhetorical Functions article is expressing how hashtags are used as a tool for rhetorical genres. While the other article explains the technical use for a hashtag and focuses on the Rallying aspect of hashtags as rhetorical genres. #SimpleButEffective.
Tweeting Disaster article specifically talks negative uses of hashtags, but highlights good parts like when New Zealand Earthquakes that devastated thousands, thanks to a hashtag people were able to receive information quickly as they were recovering. #GoodandBad.
The Tweeting Disaster article had a good quote about making sure people are not replaced with machines, in regards to monitoring disasters like in New Zealand to make sure the word gets out. #OnlyHumansDo
I got a nice understanding on how hashtags relate to rhetorical genres in the first article as it helps categorize different uses. I found this article to be more eye-opening as it is a good thing to refer to as a designer of media. #KnowYourHashtag
